When the immune system identifies these errant
proteins as invaders, it does what it does in response to any other invading pathogen: mount an attack and fortify the body's defenses by releasing histamine (which tries to get rid of the «pathogen» by inducing diarrhea, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and all the other symptoms you might get from an allergic or intolerance reaction).
The team, led by center director Dr. Alessio Fasano, hypothesizes that a person with gluten sensitivity experiences a direct reaction to gluten — i.e., your body views
the protein as an invader and fights it with inflammation both inside and outside your digestive tract.
The immune system then interprets that particular
protein as an invader each time it is reintroduced.

protein as a foreign
invader and thus cause a reaction which can lead to a variety of signs and symptoms: • Abdominal distress, gas, bloating, chronic diarrhea, nausea • Fatigue • Joint pain • ADHD / ADD and behavioral issues • Delayed growth or failure to thrive in infants • Seizures • Acid reflux • Headaches Gluten sensitivity should be considered
as an underlying cause when dealing with a chronic condition.
